The NTSB's narrative final · quoted from the NTSB record
The airplane was substantially damaged during a hard landing following an aborted takeoff. The pilot reported that the run-up, takeoff roll, and lift-off were normal. He stated that upon reaching a height about equal to the surrounding trees, the airplane settled due to a "loss of full power, wind condition or some other factor." He stated that he pulled power and executed a hard landing near the end of the runway. He did not report the direction used for the takeoff. The pilot reported that witnesses on a nearby golf course said that the airplane did not sound right.

About this page
Everything above comes from the NTSB's public accident database: the narrative, probable cause and findings are the NTSB's own words, and the coded tables behind its report (pilot, aircraft, flight, weather, injuries, sequence of events) are written out in plain English. Pilots' ages, home towns and medical details are left out on purpose. The docket at the NTSB holds the report as a PDF and the investigation's photographs and documents. This site never names pilots, passengers or anyone else involved. A preliminary report describes what is known soon after the event and can change; the final report, with the probable cause, usually follows one to two years later and this page is refreshed when it does. Case number CHI07LA249.
